Zimbabwe's health system collapsed

The Independent has this report today, on the shocking state of Zimbabwe's health system:

Zimbabwe's health sector was once the envy of other African countries, but two decades of mismanagement, neglect and theft have left the country short of medical care. The government realises that the health sector is something to be ashamed of - it rarely allows foreigners to enter public hospitals unless they are on an official, state-approved tour.
